The sign in the window said for sale or trade On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels And that road rolls out like a welcome mat I don't know where it goes but it beats where we're at We always said someday somehow We were gonna get away gonna blow this town What about now, how 'bout tonight Baby for once let's don't think twice Let's take that spin that never ends That we've been talkin' about What about now, why should we wait We can chase these dreams down the interstate And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round What about now We've been puttin' this off baby long enough Just give me the word, and we'll be kickin' up dust We both know it's just a matter of time 'Til our hearts start racin' for that county line What about now, how 'bout tonight Baby for once let's don't think twice Let's take that spin that never ends That we've been talkin' about What about now, why should we wait We can chase these dreams down the interstate And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round What about now We could hang around this town forever making plans But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance What about now, how 'bout tonight Baby for once let's don't think twice Let's take that spin that never ends That we've been talkin' about What about now, why should we wait We can chase these dreams down the interstate And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round What about now What about now
